About the Skinny: Reaching your ideal weight

WATER 
#1.   75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 
 (Likely applies to half the world population) 

#2.     In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak 
that it is mistaken for hunger. 

#3.    Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%. 

#4.   One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs  for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of 
Washington study. 

#5.     Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. (And you guys thought it was the lack of caffeine.  A DEHYDRATER!!!!)

#6.    Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of  water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 

#7.    A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term  memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on 
the computer screen or on a printed page.  (So make sure your kids drink up before a math test.  Otherwise, they could end up doing fuzzy math!  HAH, HAH!)

#8.   Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of   colon cancer by 45%.   Plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%. And one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day? 

COKE 

#1.    In many states the highway patrol carries  two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident. (Now that’s just disgusting.  Didn’t anyone ever tell them about OxiClean?)

#2.     You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days. 

#3.    To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the  toilet bowl and let the ‘real thing’ sit for one hour, then flush clean.. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china. 

#4.    To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: 

Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. 

#5.    To clean corrosion from car battery terminals:                                                                                                                           

Pour  a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. 

#6..   To loosen a rusted bolt:                                                                                                                                                                             

Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes. 

#7.    To bake a moist ham:

Empty a can of Coca-Cola into  the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy. 

#8…   To remove grease from clothes:

Empty a can of Coke  into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield. 

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: 

The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. 
It will dissolve a nail in about four days.

 Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis. 

To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials. 

The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years! 

   Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?
